I have been MIA! Going off on my own and working for myself was a quick way to re-engage my mind out of a bit of dormancy, however, it has also meant less time than I expected on my own things – like the blog. Good thing there are incredible people over on Facebook sharing […]
My parents are big into native american vessels. Growing up we had an entire room filled with pieces that were woven, clay, leather, you name it. When I saw Rina Peleg’s work I was immediately brought back to time in our TV room – the only room where things in our house were kept behind […]
Rare is it that I’m not writing about sculpture here on the blog but when I saw Jonathan Delafield Cook’s charcoal drawings I was blown away. When I saw their scale I was even more impressed! The above is from his Nest series and is 78×82 centimeters – that’s huge! And it’s all charcoal. Some […]
Fenella Elms’ porcelain wall art pieces embody many elements that I love – they’re undulating, made up of many pieces, and take time and patience for their creation. I’m not quite sure how these are made. I think they are little porcelain chips almost that are sewn onto linen and put onto a board. I […]
Today (at the end of the day) I need a little inspiration. As exhilarating as being off on my own again is, I need to remind myself to take advantage of this newfound flexibility and be sure to blog, look at pictures, and be inspired! That will continue to lead to better product for my professional me. […]
A lot of the ceramics I look at are porcelain, delicate and, in many cases, many small parts make up a whole. In the case of Gabrielle Baëcile though, none of this is the case. Her work is sculptural, has a density to it, and reminds me of coral. From what I can glean from […]
Subodh Gupta’s work involves a lot of welding/soldering, which I’m into right now. I can’t find too much out about this New Delhi-based artist but I love the scale and the techniques he uses for his works. Te above, UFO, is made up of many of the same item (in this case a metal saucer/bowl) […]
This week has not been my week. From being sick to there being a huge fire in Boston that has knocked out our power to other weird things going on – I feel like I’m living in the twilight zone! But the blog is always here for me – and the artists are always wonderful […]
Aside from having a great name, Kendall Buster’s work has the advantage of coming from one of the great fodder-generators for this here blog, Neil, who I will from now on refer to as my friend and not my brother’s! Like my brother, Neil went to Hopkins for college and just recently the campus installed […]
In just a few short days my mother will be receiving the very first Parks Partners award from the Mayor of Boston. In the spirit of that I thought I’d do a horticulturally inspired post and Susan Benarcik’s work fit the bill. I’m fairly certain those are everyday toothpicks glued to the wall in an irregular pattern. […]
